Does anyone have a solution to fixing a broken GPS? It just keeps searching for a location but doesn't pick up anything
Very frustrating because that's what I mainly use my phone for. It just started doing this after I upgraded to 4.2 yesterday. I dropped my phone yesterday also so I don't know which one is the cause for my GPS issue. Thnx
Try one of the gps toolbox apps to calibrate and fix the agps data. Or try FasterGPS, which I think needs busybox, to set your location.

I had this same problem with connecting to google play. Here are the steps, goto apps, scroll tap 'ALL' apps, then:
Delete data on Google Services Framework
Delete data on Google Play Store
Sync your contacts
Delete your google account completely
then add your google account back in and sync your contacts
this will get you to back connected into google play store.
For GPS, go back into ACCOUNTS and click on google.
this is what I did, not sure the effects, but navigation now works:
Location -->turn ON (let google apps access your location)
Off course all my location settings was already turned on, but here's somewhere/something else that needs done.
I hope this helps...

NP - I created an account JUST to answer this as it about made me throw my phone too...
Now if I can just get someone to spoon feed me a root/ROM job on a Galaxy S2 ATT i777 (not skyrocket)
Is anyone else having problems with Play Music not syncing all of your music? Maybe ⅓-½ of my music does not appear to be syncing with my S6 nor my S6 Edge. Syncs just fine with my HTC One, Asus Tablet, Samsung Tab, PC etc... Just not the S6s.
I've resynced multiple times under Accounts, I've cleared data/cache multiple times within the app itself as well as under app management, I've tried it with app updates uninstalled and with the updates installed. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening.
I am also within my 10 device limit. Anyone else having issues? Have any possible solutions? Alotta of my most played songs are not syncing and it driving me nuts.
(Edit) FYI, the S6 is Stock Rom untouched. The S6 Edge is Stock Rom rooted.
My syncing works fine. Also at my limit. Wish they'd change that

I'm having the exact same issue. I have a Galaxy S6 edge. Already opened a ticket with Google Play Support. Awaiting on a response.

Wanted to check if your problem is still ongoing, mine is. Google stated they weren't able to replicate the issue on their end and to pretty much hope for updates to fix it.
I'm going crazy here... :-/

Found a thread on Android Central of other users reporting the same issue:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-g4/536816-how-can-i-fix-my-google-play-music-sync.html
Seems to be something with Google services itself and not just the S6 or S6 Edge.
I've referenced both threads in my support ticket, I'd encourage you to do the same, maybe we can nag them enough for a solution.
No luck as of yet on my end. Actually, it seems the more I delete data/cache and try resyncinging the more songs stop from syncing..... It's getting really aggravating honestly.

:sigh: Same here. At first I thought it was fixing the issue, but then I realized that it was just switching what songs I had available on my device. Aggravating indeed.
I included both threads (this one and the one on androidcentral) in my ticket email update. Hopefully they get their stuff together.
I'm having the same issue - searching for a solution brought me to this thread. I've reset the phone, wiped the cache, disabled the GPM app, refresh library both on Wi-Fi and on cell connection. Nothing is working. This is really frustrating as every other device I have the library is syncing perfectly (including my Galaxy Note 10.1).
Would love to get this resolved somehow...
Edit: does this have anything to do with how large the music library is? Mine is bordering 18,000 songs.
@Chadwick17 @msgnyc
Alright guys! I've found a solution for mine, hope this helps you guys out!
1. Go to GPM on the webapp (website, whatever you want to call it).
2. Go to "My Library", then pick whatever artist you want for the test
3. Once you open the artist, go to "All my songs" (for that artist you picked)
4. Select ALL the songs and click the edit button on the top
5. DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE FIELDS (unless you want to change the metadata for the songs). Just click save without making any changes
6. Refresh your music library app, your stuff should be there now
What I did to make this faster for me, was go through my music library by genres. I would open the genre (Progressive Rock for example), go to "All Songs", select all of them, click edit and just save. I'm personally OCD when it comes to the music tags, so it was much easier for me since I have everything nicely formatted and organized. I only had to do it 111 times (the number of genres in my library).
Now once you're done doing this on the GPM website, go to settings on the website and refresh your music library (yes, this is on the website).
Once you're done, go to your google music app on your phone and refresh it, if it works for you as the same as it did for me, your playlists should now have all your music and so will your library.
After I confirmed that everything was there I force stopped the google play app through the application manager, cleared cache and data for the app through application manager, reboot in recovery, cleared cache and dalvik through recovery, fixed permissions. Booted up, my Google Play music is syncing just fine now.
Hope this helps!!!

I just saw a similar solution over at Android Central. It's been working for me too - only thing is, it doesn't seem to rectify the missing songs in your playlists on your phone. Maybe I haven't waited long enough for it to refresh...

Try my steps. I had the same problem with my songs playlists, but after I performed all the steps I did all my playlists have the correct number of songs in them.
Something is seriously screwed up. Now, the web app is showing music missing - roughly 3,000 songs. However, the music app on my tablet is showing all of the correct songs. I have no idea what the hell is going on but I'd sure like my 3,000 songs back.

Give it time. I had the issue as well, that's why I refreshed the music app within the GPM website. Go to settings on your left and then refresh the music library.
Make sure that by some reason they're not in the trash either.
I'll give it a shot l8r when I've got time. It's gonna take awhile to do that with all my songs.....
(Edit)It did work with the few albums I tried it. They updated the webpage. Im unable to select all songs for an artist. Id have to do it album by album. This could take me all week...
They need to fix this.

You were right. The web page did refresh to the correct amount of songs. I simply went into the 'Songs' portion of my library and selected all 19,000 of them and hit edit and then save right away. After that I refreshed the web app and now everything is working just like it should.
However, now my Google services aren't pushing notifications. I have no idea if that is related to this or a completely different issue altogether. Gmail will only show new email after I open the app and any purchases in Google Play don't show unless I manually force the phone to sync. Ugh.

Finally had a chance to sit down and do this. Wasn't able to do it really from my tablet since I was unable to select all and going album by album would've takin forever. Solved my sync issues tho. Your a life saver. Thanks.
Wonder what was causing the problem to begin with tho...

Glad it worked for ya man!
I can't get Google photos to back up any of my pics or videos. I have it set up appropriately (never had a problem on any other device including my op5) but on the option it just says "getting photos" but that's it.
It won't even back up my photos if in try to do it manually
The only issue I have with Google Photos, on any device, is how janky and terrible the pinch to zoom is. I doubt Google even tests any of their apps anymore.
That's why I'll never use it as the main Gallery or to show off Photos. It's embarrassing.
As far as backing up, that seems to be working ok for me. As long as it's Sync'd under Account Settings, it's usually fine.

Had the same issue when I changed to OP5T.
It would sit at "getting photos..." and not do a thing (even the network speed in status bar was 0 K/s).
I resolved it by cleaning the its data and cache in storage (Settings>Apps>Application List>Photos>Storage>Clear Data) and go through the setup process again.
Hope it resolves your issue also.

Hey thanks that worked. I originally tried disabling and enabling it (that used to clear all data) but apparently not anymore. Clearing data for the app worked perfectly. Thank you
Hi, i am facing very weird problem.
Recently 2 weeks back i reset my phone and then set it up and copied back my data to phone. But from Past few days i am facing weird issue.
Whenever i download any picture. It's thumbnail show correctly in gallery. But while uploading on whatsapo, facebook, insta or telegram or any other app, it shows wrong thumbnail. When i click on that, it changes to correct photo, but thumbnail still shows incorrect.
This happens to most of the apps.
I already deleted thumbnail cache but still the same.
Interesting thing is that, it is showing thumbnails of the deleted photos which i downloaded previously from facebook.
Please don't recommend to reset my phone again.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Try clearing the app cache for Gallery. If that doesn't work clear app data for Gallery (don't worry, it won't delete any photos or videos).
Settings - > Apps - > Samsung Gallery -> Storage
